I began to know his men a little, those unsteady hearts that he hadspoken of, those leaky vessels. Polites was better-mannered than therest, Eurylochos stubborn and sulky.

You are kind, but I think we both know it is not. soon as I wason board, the seas around me lifted wrathful heads. The sky dark-ened to iron. I tried to turn the fleet around, but it was too late.

About the only thing they had in common was that they were both Asian American, but even thatjust obscured the gulf between their backgrounds: Hsu’s parents had immigrated from Taiwan,whereas Ken’s Japanese American family had lived in the United States for genera
Being classified together as both Asian Americans will hide the real differences in their lives and experiences.

Hsu is a subtle writer, not a showy one; the joy of “Stay True” sneaks up on you, and the wry jokesare threaded seamlessly throughout. He recounts his relationship with his parents — how he feltextraordinarily close to them in some essential ways and distant from them in
Hsu Hua’s quiet writing style makes the story feel sincere and let the reader easy to connect with.

l. The frat boy who made special trips to Abercrombie & Fitch “waspiecing together a theory about the world,” while the righteous Hsu, who had also started writingfor Asian American newspapers, assumed that whenever he and Ken would make a list of the fewAsian characters on sitcoms, they “were just goofing off and passing time.” But some of Ken’s“theory” seemed to leave its mark on Hsu — even if, like anything whose influence is so profoundit’s subterranean, it manifested less as a doctrine than as a disposi
Ken’s influence didn’t appear as direct teaching, but changed the way he sees the world.

Sehr allgemeiner und blumiger Artikel der Repubblica über Klimakrise und Ozeane. Behandelt werden die Folgen der Treibhausgasemissionen - Wärmeabsorption und Erhitzung, Versauerung und Sauerstoff-Verlust - wie die Nutzung der Meere zum Kampf gegen die Klimakrise, außer durch Schutz ihrer CO2-Absorptionfähigkeit auch durch CCS, Tiefsee-Bergbau und Offshore-Windenergie. https://www.repubblica.it/green-and-blue/2023/11/18/news/oceani_crisi_climatica-420595124/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory
“The Sam Vimes "Boots" Theory of Economic Injustice runs thus:<br /> At the time of Men at Arms, Samuel Vimes earned thirty-eight dollars a month as a Captain of the Watch, plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots, the sort that would last years and years, cost fifty dollars. This was beyond his pocket and the most he could hope for was an affordable pair of boots costing ten dollars, which might with luck last a year or so before he would need to resort to makeshift cardboard insoles so as to prolong the moment of shelling out another ten dollars.<br /> Therefore over a period of ten years, he might have paid out a hundred dollars on boots, twice as much as the man who could afford fifty dollars up front ten years before. And he would still have wet feet.<br /> Without any special rancour, Vimes stretched this theory to explain why Sybil Ramkin lived twice as comfortably as he did by spending about half as much every month.”<br /> ― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms (1993)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita
During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law).
The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shǝvi'it (שביעית, literally "seventh"), or "Sabbath of The Land", is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.
